New Tides is the first book in the Cornwall Tides Trilogy, telling the story of Ellie and Owen.
“” Trust is a slow burn.And love can be too””
The author is taking us on a journey in one of the most beautiful places in United Kingdom, a small town in Cornwall, a well known place for spending amazing holidays for its beautiful beaches and natural surroundings and all this are so well described that you really feel like you are one of the visitors having a nice cup of coffee and maybe the couple at the next table are the characters from this amazing book.
The book is from Ellie’s POV but you can easily read between the lines that Owen is there for whatever she needs-time,space,human contact, love.
Having to live with anxiety even for the smallest things that most of us take for granted is a totally different world for that person and the author manages to explain and makes us more aware of this by creating a very strong and sensible woman that we can relate to as ourselves or as one of our friends or relatives.
The writing style is a bit different from what I usually read but nevertheless wonderful and kept me up all night to read and finish it.
The slow burn is very slow but it’s exactly what these characters needed so Ellie could feel worthy of Owen’s attention,friendship,desire, love and everything he has to offer.Owen is so open,patient, loving and careful, he has his own struggles with his career as a writer from his day by day to do list/work in progress tasks to his deadlines.
I felt so much for Ellie when I read about her family and relatives not understanding her or supporting her in any way which made me think more about our life and how small gestures can change everything.
Overall an amazing read and will be definitely reading and recommend this author more ❤️
